I am having a small private reception. Reception will be about 250 people, it will be an outdoor pig roast – self serve. Should i show up in my gown or change? I am tell all guest to wear casual clothes. Should i keep it traditional with guest waiting to eat til we show up and eat? Traditions I planned on doing….bestman speech/ toast, our dance (no wedding party dancing) dollar dance, cutting the cake. My FH doesnt think we should make people wait to eat but I can’t think of any other way to do it. Is it appropriate for me to leave at some point and go change? ( I will be playing horseshoes so the gown isnt going to work for that)? Help any ideas for how things should flow are greatly welcomed!!!
Does anyone know any bands (especially ROCK bands) that are bad for my children to be listening to? Bands/artists like Marilyn Manson, Escape The Fate, Bad Religion, Black Veil Brides, My Chemical Romance, etc? I need to be on the look out because my daughter is dating an emo and I need to make sure he doesn’t influence her with such terrible, bad influencing music. Thanks!
I mean this is really sad, I know im fat too but its ok for guys to be big and fat, plus i played football so i have been big most of my life. But im suppose to be going out with girls i can actually pick up off of the ground, like of they hurt themselves or they sprain their ankle or broke a foot, I can pick them up. but I cant pick up no girl who is 100 pounds over weight. Im saying that all girls should be skinny so they can attract men like me. Its just like the same thing that happend to me last year. This one girl who liked me was way overweight And for some reason she gets upset alot because she is fat but she dosent do anything about it here are some examples.
She was a brides maid at a wedding and they had her try one 4 dresses and the bride said she is just too fat for the dresses and the wedding. But if she looses some weight like 75 to 100 pounds she can be in the wedding. So the girl got pissed off and started crying.
And when we was on the city bus together the school children was making fun of her and she cried again.
Also I asked her if she wants to go out to like the harbor or out to the mall and all she ever wants to do is stay home and eat and watch TV thats prolly why she so fat!! but the skinny girls always want to go out.
So i just dont understand why dont she just loose weight?? and be happy and stop crying. And she cries alot too. I dont want to date her because she is too fat but if she looses 100 pounds than i will date her.
AM I RIGHT?

I have a boyfriend whom I’ve been with for 10 months and he generally makes me so happy.
I also have a boy that I’ve had feelings for since the day we met on our first day of our second year at university. Two years later – we’ve both established that the feelings mutual but he was in a relationship when I met him and the very day he ended that I began my relationship with my current boyfriend who (I repeat!) I am very happy with!
And so we have never done anything more than admit that we like each other and realise there’s nothing to be done about it so we may as well stay friends.
The problem is that I keep dreaming about him – maybe twice a month, if not more – and the dreams are always romantic in nature.
The two dreams that are bothering me in particular:
Last week I dreamt about marrying my boyfriend – it was a beautifully organised affair (I want to be a wedding planner so this is important) and everyone was happy. But I couldn’t do it and I left him waiting at the alter.
Last night I dreamt I married my crush – it was a weird, messy affair with people in fancy dress (which i despise) and everything in the wrong order but in the dream I didn’t care because I loved him and that was all that mattered!
Aaaaaa! Help me!
What do these dreams mean and how, how, HOW do I stop dreaming about this other guy!? Why am I even doing it?
Any advice really appreciated – I’m driving myself completely insane here.
Is it proper to keep a wedding favor of a couple that divorces? Does anybody know the proper etiquette of this?

It is the night of our first anniversary. By our, I mean my best friend Katherine, her husband Matthew, my husband Alexander, and of course myself.
My name is Phoenix Williams and one year ago to this date I married the love of my life. Naturally, it was a joint wedding with my best friend. She saved my life on more than one occasion. Life wasn’t always rainbows and puppy dogs for me. I’m not saying that it is now, but its better times a thousand.
Before I start going on about what we plan on doing tonight for our anniversary, which we will be spending with Katy and Matt, I feel the need to tell you a little bit about my life and what really was wrong with it.
Fifteen years ago, on my sixth birthday, my dad finally caved into my mother’s desire to adopt. You see, she always wanted a big family but that was yet another thing my father and her did not see eye to eye with. She finally got her wish and a year and a half later my little sister Annie, who was one, was brought home. We lived in peace for a while before my mother decided she needed yet another child. After a few months of her constant begging my father, once again, agreed but only under the condition that it would be the last child and she agreed. Another year later and Amanda, who was also one year old when we adopted her, was brought home.
It’s not the adoptions that had brought me into my depression, it was my parents constant arguing. My mom thought she was never wrong, just as my dad did. They could never have an actual conversation. Someone would always end up screaming and I would always be brought right into the middle of it all. “Well Phoenix this Phoenix that!” blah blah blah. Annie and Amanda where too young to know what was going on so they never had to worry about anything, I on the other hand was thirteen when this was starting to happen, still young but old enough to understand.
Well I’m a freshman right now and I was planning on after graduating highschool to move to japan and enroll in a performing arts school.
I know I could just go to one in America but here’s where the rest of my story comes in.
Im muslim and if you didn’t know, muslim family’s are very strict. Luckily I was born into a family where I got more freedom than most but still, strict.
My mom and sister always decide things for me. They already decided where they want me to go to college and what I’m going to be when I grow up and they expect me to do it. I have no choice at all. If I tell them I want to go into performing arts, I know they won’t let me. They’ll force me to do things their way, no matter how they have to make me do it.
Also another thing is, my family believes in arranged marriages, just like most, if not all, muslims. My sister is getting married soon to her boyfriend, but thats after years of getting my mom to agree. Not only that but he’s also muslim. Another reason is, my mom ALWAYS supports my sister. If she has an arguement with me, even if she’s the one in the wrong, my mom always yells at me.
When one day me and my sister were talking about her wedding, my sister told me not to do the same thing as her. She told me to get an arranged marriage. She said to get one since my mom couldn’t do that for my sister, she could do it for me.
I DO NOT WANT AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE. I never once fell for a muslim guy, and I know I never will. And it always hurts me to know my sister doesn’t care at all about how I feel. No one in my family does.
Thats why I’m saving up my money, learning japanese, and preparing to move to Japan to go to a performing arts school. I’ve always loved dancing, playing music, and singing and it was always my dream to go to a performing arts school. It was also always my dream to go to japan since i mostly listen to japanese music, watch japanese dramas,etc.
But should I follow this dream? Sometimes I wonder. If I leave, I know my family will never talk to me again. They will disown me pretty much. But sometimes I also think it would be worth it…
Im also considering changing my name once Im there…I think it would be for the best. To forget the past and live a new life.
Should I go through with this?
He passed away about 4 years ago and we were a very, very close family.
My mother met someone else then 2 and a half years later, in my opinion, it felt too soon for her to be with somebody else and obviously I was livid and upset. But because my mother had been depressed for SO long, with my dad being ill for 2 years and then dying I tried my best to accept it, because she was alot happier.
Her new lover has moved in recently, I was okay with that. But now, she has taken all pictures of my dad from the walls, she never visits his grave, so it’s just up to me to visit and put flowers upon his grave, and she never, ever, EVER talks about him, or hints or relates anything like about him. And to top it all off, they are engaged and have planned their wedding for June.
Recently, every night or any time I fall asleep I will dream about him, or he is in the background of my dreams. I’ve had one dream, when I am on the sofa with my mother, my dad, and my mother’s new partner, and everyone talking, when my dad stops the conversation by saying ‘Why are you ignoring me Liz?’ (Liz is my mothers name). And everything goes awkward and I dont remember anything else…
Another time, in my dream, my mother and her partner were going on a holiday, as they were going to leave, my dad appeared and was crying as they left and sat alone on a chair while me and my sister were helping my mother to the door.
It;s really upsetting, is it my mind playing with me?
